I believe in the alchemical power of design to create a brighter and more thoughtful world, where authenticity, creativity and innovation connect visionary ideas with what matters most—people.

I make brands that make people feel something.

I'm Sharon, a brand designer and art director with a soft spot for bold color, unexpected type pairings, and brands with something real to say. I spent my early career making award-winning campaigns at Goodby Silverstein in San Francisco, then went in-house at TaskRabbit and ZipRecruiter to build identities that had to earn trust fast.

Today I run my own studio in Portland, OR, partnering with clients on brand strategy and identity, and embedding with agency teams at Manual and DDB when the work calls for it. I also research cultural trends for Proef, which basically means I get paid to pay attention.

I’m chasing the moment a brand stops feeling like a brand and starts feeling like a conversation. Design, at its best, is just that: connection made visible.
